20. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING: CAMCORDER, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire and supporting structure, grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding to conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. See ﬁgure below.

21. LIGHTNING: For added protection of this CAMCORDER during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the CAMCORDER due to lightning and powerline surges.

22. POWER LINES: An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.

have fallen into the CAMCORDER.

c. If the CAMCORDER has been exposed to

rain or water.

d. If the CAMCORDER does not operate

normally by following the operating instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualiﬁed technician to restore the CAMCORDER to its normal operation.

e. If the CAMCORDER has been dropped or

the cabinet has been damaged.

f. When the CAMCORDER exhibits a distinct

change in performance, this indicates a need for service.

27. REPLACEMENT PARTS: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts speciﬁed by the manufacturer and having the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in ﬁre, electric shock or other hazards.

28. SAFETY CHECK: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this CAMCORDER, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the CAMCORDER is in safe operating order.

29. To prevent damage which may result in ﬁre or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

Available running time for the battery

Battery type BP125A

Charging time

Video resolution HD SD

Using the AC power adaptor: approx. 120 min.

Using the USB cable: approx. 270 min.

Continuous recording time

Playback time

Charging time: Approximate time in minutes required to fully charge a completely exhausted

• battery. Recording/Playback time: Approximate time available when you have fully charged the

• battery. ‘HD’ stands for high deﬁnition image quality and ‘SD’ stands for standard image quality. The time is only for reference. Times shown above are measured under Samsung’s test

• conditions. Your times may differ, depending on your usage and conditions. The recording and playback times will be shorter when you use your camcorder in low

• temperatures.

Continuous Recording (without zoom)

The continuous recording time above shows the available recording time when you record without using any other function after recording starts. The battery may discharge 2-3 times faster than this reference if you use the record start/stop, the zoom, and the play functions. Prepare additional batteries with the expectation that the actual recording time is about 1/3 to 1/2 of the times listed above.

Using an AC power source

We recommend that you use the AC power adaptor to power the camcorder from a household AC outlet when recording and playing the camcorder indoors. The connection is the same as that for battery charging. page 18
